Answer:
Hello world, today we were given a bunch of worksheets and had to answer questions. We also had to make charts and put them on the website. Let's see how that goes. I'll see you later. Peace!

7. What can you infer about the climate of each region by reviewing these climographs?
> Tokyo is a place in between warm and cold with a good amount of precipitation. Trondheim is a warm place. Arica is a desert, so it is very humid there.
Research Question: Do Ocean Currents Influence Climate?
Hypothesis: Have each student discuss the research question with one or two other students and then write their hypothesis(es) on paper.
1st Procedure: Predicting the Effect of Ocean Surface Currents on Coastal Climates
Read the Introduction aloud. Then look at the map of major ocean currents and write a prediction describing the climate you would expect of each place listed below. (The symbols are to help locate the cities on the world map.)
Arica, Chile (along the Peru Current, symbol: star)
Trondheim, Norway (along the Norwegian Current, symbol: smiley face)
Tokyo, Japan (along the Kuroshio Current, symbol: heart)
2nd Procedure: Recording Data-Making a Climograph (teacher should make 3 copies of blank climographs per student or group.)
Using the climate data from Fact Sheet A, create a climograph for each city listed. Use a line graph for temperature and a bar graph for precipitation on the same graph.
Conclusion and Analysis:
1. Examine your climographs. What is the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the climograph for each city?
> Tokyo, Japan: 39 degree difference
Trondheim, Norway: 32 degree difference
Arica, Chile: 12 degree difference
2. Which city is a desert? How can you tell?
> Arica, Chile is the city in the desert. I know this because there is no precipitation.
3. Take a closer look at the Arica, Chile climograph. What can you tell about the seasons and the months? How is this related to the hemisphere where Arica is located?
> In Arica, it would be warmer during January, February, November, and December, but here during in the Northern Hemisphere it would be colder. The reason is because the seasons are reversed in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere.
4. Is there a relationship between the temperature of the ocean current and the coastal climate?
> Yes, the temperature of the ocean current and the costal climate do have a relationship. With warm currents, the air is warm and moist. With cold currents, the air is dry.
5. Is there a relationship between the direction of the ocean current and the coastal climate?
> Yes, the direction of the ocean current and the costal climate do have a relationship. The ocean currents from the coast affects how the air will be on
land.
6. In general, on which side of the ocean basins are the cold currents? Warm currents?
> The east side of the ocean basins is where the cold currents are. The west side of the ocean basins are where the warm currents are.
